I was on a walk through Canary Wharf yesterday and spotted this beauty in the waters. It’s allegedly owned by a “Russian national” according to the National Crime Agency, and sits there waiting for its owner since its “detention” following sanctions of Russia and allies of Putin.
The visible effects of the Ukraine war are obvious to see in media reports and online. Yet the sight of a vessel of alleged Russian origin moored still in UK waters brings it home a little further. This is a genuine war with genuine consequences.
